I'm sure your kids told you all about how awesome BizTown was and how much they learned. We've spent some time reflecting on our experiences at BizTown and how these learning experiences will help us in the future. We are super grateful for the parent volunteers who did training and helped support our students at BizTown and for all the companies who have donated so much to provide a place like JA BizTown. To learn more about BizTown, ask a current Sunset fourth grader!

All students were interviewed this week for their JA BizTown job. Students applied for their top three jobs, Ms. Peavey and I interviewed them. AwesomeNess Althetes did a great job using their manners, shaking our hands, sitting up tall during the interview, speaking clearly, and thoughtfully responding to the questions.

One part was so sweet, I had to share: When asked "Who do you admire most and why?" many students told us they admired their parents. They had many reasons: because they provide for our family, they're self-less, because they have dealt with really hard times well, because they started a whole new life when they came to America, etc. So just know that they notice your hardwork and how you deal with things, whether they mention it or not.
